Congratulations, you are now sailing with the Ship of Harkinian! Have fun!
The Ship of Harkinian uses a proprietary versioning system consisting of a sci-fi film character followed by a phonetic alphabet code word. The film character represents a major release version which increments with the addition of many new features and bug fixes. The code word represents a minor release version which increments with small updates mainly comprised of bug fixes. For example, DECKARD ALFA.
- Open OTRGui.exe, and select one of the supported roms listed above, to generate the
oot.otrarchive file. - If a second button already exits then
oot.otralready exists. To prevent overwriting the oldoot.otruse this button to choose a new game directory. The new directory must not already contain anoot.otrto prevent an error. - When the process completes, place
oot.otrbesidesoh.exeif it is not already.
This packaging process can take up to 5 minutes.
Close the OTRGui when the Done! message appears.
If you get another message, then you might have selected the wrong rom. Make sure to use a rom consistent with the above checksum.
- Place one of the supported roms in the same folder as the appimage.
- When you run the soh appimage, it should begin generating the
oot.otrarchive file. - When the process completes, place
oot.otrin the same folder as the appimage, if it is not already, then run the appimage.
The packaging process can take up to 5 minutes.
If you get any errors, then you might have selected the wrong rom. Make sure to use a rom consistent with the above checksum.
- Run
soh.app, and when prompted, select one of the supported roms listed above. - You should see a notification saying
Processing OTR, then, once the process is complete, you should get a notification sayingOTR Successfully Generated, then the game should start.
The packing process can take up to 5 minutes.
If you get an error saying Incompatible ROM hash, you have selected the wrong rom, make sure the checksum matches one of the ones listed above.

We support importing custom Seq64 files to replace the in game music and fanfares (Not sound effects yet currently).
First you will need to prepare a folder with the desired sequences, in which every sequence will have two files with the same name and different extensions, a .seq Seq64 file and a .meta plaintext file. These files can be categorically nested in folders if desired, they will still be consumed as if they were all at the top level.
The meta file will have two lines, the first line is the name that will be displayed in the SFX editor, and the second line will be the instrument set number, in base 16. For example, if there is a sequence file Foo.seq then you need a meta file Foo.meta that could contain:
Awesome Name
C
Once you have prepared your sequences folder:
- Download and open Retro.
- Choose the "Create OTR" option
- Choose the "Custom Sequences" option
- Using the file select, choose the sequences folder you prepared in the previous instructions.
- Click the "Stage Files" button (Reminder: SoH can handle 1024 custom sequence in total, this number include the count of the original music with it so be sure to take this into account)
- Click the "Finalize OTR" text in the green footer.
- Finally click "Generate OTR" and for the source destination it needs to go in the
modsfolder of your SoH installation.- This
modsfolder should be a sibling of youroot.otrfile.
- This
Assuming you have done everything correctly, boot up SoH and open up the SFX Editor (In the Enhancements dropdown). You should now be able to swap out any of the in game sequences/fanfares for the sequences added in your newly generated OTR file. If you have any trouble with this process please reach out in the support section of the Discord
Refer to the building instructions to compile SoH.
Nightly builds of Ship of Harkinian are available here: Windows, macOS, Linux, Switch, Wii U
